Which side of the plane to sit from Ibn Batouta Airport (Tanger) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Rock of Gibraltar shortly after takeoff and a more detailed approach over the historic forests and southern suburbs of Paris.
The Rock of Gibraltar
A stunning, clear view of the monolithic limestone rock and the narrow strait during the initial climb.
Andalusia & Seville
Look for the sprawling city of Seville and the Guadalquivir River as you fly north over southern Spain.
Sierra Morena
The rugged mountain range that separates the Andalusian plains from the central Spanish plateau.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Fly over the world-renowned wine region with views of the Gironde estuary and endless vineyard rows.
Fontainebleau Forest
A massive green expanse that marks the final approach into Paris-Orly from the south.
The Rock of Gibraltar is the star attraction on the right, appearing within minutes of takeoff from Tangier. In the morning, the sun will be on the right, so keep your window shade down until you reach cruising altitude to avoid glare.
Tangier & Cape Spartel
Aerial views of the white-washed city and the lighthouse where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic.
Gulf of Cádiz
Vast views of the Spanish coastline near the border with Portugal and the deep blue Atlantic.
Spanish Meseta
The high plateau of central Spain featuring agricultural patchworks and the Duero River.
French Silver Coast
The long, sandy coastline of southwestern France and the Bay of Biscay.
Loire Valley
Sightings of the winding Loire River and the historic châteaux that dot the landscape near Orléans.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better for spotting the winding rivers of central France during the descent phase.
